ad always felt restless, yearning for something more than the familiar routines and faces of her hometown. So when she received her acceptance letter from Mount Wall University, sh
ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the big city, and she knew that she was destined for great things. After a long and tiring four-hour journey, Tatiana's bus finally pulled into the station in The City of Neptune. She grabbed her backpack and made her way off the bus, feeling a sense of relief and exhaustion wash over her. As she looked around, trying to get her bearings in the busy station, she saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was her cousin Ruth, whom she had spoken to on the phone a few days earlier. Ruth had lived in the city for several years, and Tatiana was grateful for her guidance and support. "Tati! Over here!" Ruth called, waving her arm above her head. Tatiana made her way through the throngs of people, her heart lifting at the sight of her cousin's warm smile. Ruth was taller and thinner than Tatiana remembered, with stylish clothes and perfectly coiffed hair. "Ruth, it's so good to see you," Tatiana said, feeling a sense of gratitude for her cousin's presence. "Thanks for meeting me here." Ruth hugged Tatiana tightly. "Of course, cousin. I wouldn't let you navigate this city alone. How was the trip?" Tatiana grinned, feeling a sense of relief at the familiar face. "Long, but I'm glad to be here. I can't wait to explore the city and start my classes at Mount Wall University." Ruth nodded, a glint of mischief in her eye. "Oh, you'll have plenty of time to explore, Tati. I've got some exciting plans for us this weekend." Tatiana raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of curiosity and apprehension. "What kind of plans?" Ruth winked, her grin widening. "You'll just have to wait and see, cousin. Let's grab your bags and get out of here. The city is waiting for us." As Ruth led Tatiana out of the bustling station and into the warm evening air, Tatiana couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. The city was alive with energy, the streets crowded with people and the air thick with the scent of food and smoke. As they made their way to Ruth's apartment, Tatiana couldn't help but notice the impressive buildings and high-end shops that lined the streets. She had never seen so much wealth and luxury in her small town of Marimbu. When they finally arrived at Ruth's apartment building, Tatiana was struck by its grandeur and elegance. The lobby was decorated with marble floors and plush furniture, and the walls were adorned with elaborate paintings and sculptures. As they made their way up to Ruth's apartment, Tatiana couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and awe at her cousin's seemingly endless wealth and luxury. When Ruth opened the door to her apartment, Tatiana's eyes widened in amazement. The apartment was massive, with high ceilings, sleek modern furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a stunning view of the city. Tatiana couldn't help but feel a sense of envy as she looked around the spacious living room and gourmet kitchen. "Wow, Ruth," Tatiana breathed, feeling a sense of awe at the opulence of her cousin's home. "This is amazing. How did you afford all of this?". Ruth shrugged, a coy smile playing on her lips. "I do some freelance work, and I've been lucky with a few investments. Plus, I've got a few connections in high places." Tatiana nodded, feeling a sense of admiration and envy.

As Ruth gave her a quick tour of the apartment and showed her to her guest room, Tatiana couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the weekend ahead.

The energy, the people, everything is just so different from Marimbu." Ruth chuckled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, jus
